Chapter Ninety-Three: The Family Feast

Mrs. Cui turned around with a satisfied expression and said with a smile: "Since the old lady has spoken, I, who is a daughter-in-law, also come to have a good time, add a hundred big dollars to the monthly money this month, tonight, I will be the east, please miss, sons, all come to accompany our old lady for a night!" ”

As soon as she said this, no one in the house, whether it was a maid or a mother, was unhappy, and there was no one who saluted and thanked her.

After a while, all the ladies and sons of the Cui family's east and west mansions all knew that there was news of a dinner party in Songcui Courtyard tonight.

Cui Wanqing was the first to know the good news she got from Jinghui Academy because she lived in Songcui Courtyard.

Although it was expected that he was admitted to Class A to study, he couldn't help but be happy when he saw it with his own eyes.

She looked at Fang's mother overjoyed, clasped her hands to the west, muttered to herself, the look on her face was extremely pious, she curled the corners of her lips with emotion, and opened the admission letter in her hand.

It reads on the second day of October, Jinghui Academy, Cuiwei Garden, small class, No. 7 Cui Wanqing of Class A.

Only then did she think that October 1 was Halloween, and her heart didn't move, "It's better to take advantage of this day to go to my mother's grave in person, and respectfully offer incense to the elders, a little bit of affection, isn't it?" ”

Cui Wanqing moved this thought in her heart, and the more she felt that she should have done this a long time ago, although her daughter came from halfway, she always had a reputation and inherited her favor, and she would be treated as her own in the future.

When there were few people, she told Fang's mother about her idea, and Fang's mother burst into tears with excitement on the spot, "The slave has been back for so long, so I want to go to the cemetery in person, even if it is to put incense on the master." ”

"But I'm afraid that my mention of Mrs. will make you sad and sad, so I have been enduring it, since you have this thought, the slave and maid will naturally be unable to ask for it, and on that day, you must take the slave and maid together."

Cui Wanqing originally wanted to take her with her, but naturally she agreed, which made Fang's mother sad and happy, and she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.

Since it is a gathering of brothers and sisters in the evening, it is inevitable to dress up ceremoniously.

Fang's mother was sentimental, and began to dress up her own young lady, there are a lot of young ladies in the Cui family, no matter what her master says, she can't be the one who is at the bottom, is she underestimated?

She personally took Yulan and Yingqiao to pick and choose in the closet, and chose five or six clothes, and put them in front of Cui Wanqing, so that the master could decide which one to wear tonight.

At this time, the weather has gradually cooled down, and Cui Wanqing doesn't want to just be beautiful, not temperature.

Therefore, I was still honest and chose a jacket with a jade vortex color fine cloud brocade.

This jacket is embroidered with delicate branches and thousands of leaves of begonia, in the heart of each begonia flower, there is a silver-white millet bead nailed, the color of the jacket is elegant, the embroidery is first-class, and it makes people like it.

Below is a sixteen-piece embroidered Luo skirt of plain snow silk, the skirt is not very long, and you can vaguely see the embroidered shoes she is wearing on her feet, pink and purple embroidered begonia flowers.

This one is not eye-catching, but if you look closely, it exudes elegance and nobility everywhere, and it is just right to wear it tonight.

Although it was a banquet in the evening, it was a small gathering of her own family, and there was not a single foreign guest, and Cui Wanqing didn't want to be too deliberate, let alone compete for the limelight among her sisters.

Therefore, only let the magnolia comb a fragrant cloud sideburns, a hairpin with a white jade peony hanging bead hairpin, next to the hairpin, and a jeweled beaded peony bead flower.

She looked left and right in the mirror, feeling that it was not thick or light, and the coloring was good, so she couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of her mouth and smiled at the little beauty in the mirror.

Yingqiao, who was waiting on the side, saw that she was rarely so childish, so she also covered her mouth and smiled, and persuaded tactfully: "Miss Nine, although you don't like heavy makeup, but the lip grease sent by Miss Fifth last time, the maid looked at the light color very elegantly, it is better to lightly put it on, but it is also moisturizing." ”

Probably in the previous life, the eyebrows were drawn all day, the time spent on dressing up every day, at least a few hours, and the change of clothes on time in the morning, noon and evening, which was tiring.

Cui Wanqing in this life, firstly, she is not very old, and the requirements of the elders in the family are not so strict, but secondly, she really feels cumbersome, anyway, this skin bag is a little beauty in herself, no matter how hard she paints it, it will not be a stunning beauty.

Therefore, this is more and more lazy to put on makeup, and the set of rouge gouache sent by Cui Wanyun last time has not been opened yet.

This will be mentioned by Yingqiao, and Brother Li will also join in, "Good Miss, I'll wipe it on today, so that we can all open our eyes, even if it is a fragrance." ”

Last time, when Cui Wanyun came to deliver something, Brother Li didn't wait in front of him, and he never saw it, but he heard Yingqiao mention the good of that set of objects, isn't this even more itchy?

She had long wanted to see it with her own eyes, this would be pitiful, and her eyes were full of anticipation, which made Cui Wanqing unable to hold back for a while, and burst out laughing.

Yulan knew that this was willing, and quickly took out the plain wooden box from the tall cabinet, and took out the white porcelain autumn scene box that was flat and round.

With a small ivory brush placed on the side, he shallowly smeared a layer of lip grease on Cui Wanqing's delicate lips like petals.

This lip grease originally looked thinner and softer than other lip greases, and when applied to the mouth, it was also moist and very beautiful.

At a glance, I couldn't tell that I had touched the lip grease, but I thought it was still the color of the original lips, but it was moist and shiny, which was much better than not wearing lip grease.

Cui Wanqing pouted carefully in the mirror, and also felt that this object was good, and secretly felt that Cui Wanyun's ability was not small, and the third brother was on the side.

Mother Fang smiled, carefully draped the Yunfei makeup satin brocade cloak on her hand, and then tied the long pink ribbon into a beautiful bow.

praised from the bottom of his heart: "My young lady, the more and more beautiful, look, just dress up casually, you have to make people look at it and don't want to take their eyes off, if this is bigger, isn't it more rare?" ”

Cui Wanqing couldn't help but smile and said, "Yo, how do I think, Mama, are you boasting?" This person, I always feel that my daughter is good, you are afraid that you are in the same mood now, who knows, in the eyes of others, I am just a little girl, where can it be called good-looking? ”

Fang's mother was comforted by her sentence 'her own daughter', and she really felt that all these years, just for the happy smiling face of the little person in front of her, no matter how much she suffered, it was worth it.

Yulan smiled and took a few steps forward, grabbed Cui Wanqing's arm, and said jokingly: "Anyway, we all feel good, what does he do to others?" It's windy at night, Mother Fang, don't run outside, Sister Yingqiao and I, it's enough to take Fang Aya with you, you can rest at home. ”

Mother Fang responded with a smile, sent the master and servant out of the door, and took Brother Li to clean up the dressing table, tidy up the remaining clothes, and then sat on the brocade next to the beauty, gossiping, and resting her legs.

Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, Cui Wanqing was the first lady to arrive, and the maid's mother in the house all congratulated in unison, Cui Wanqing prepared a reward early in the morning, and Yulan and Yingqiao sent red envelopes to everyone one by one.

Looking at the happy appearance of the two of them, Cui Wanqing smiled secretly: "Don't mention whether this has power or not, but silver money is really indispensable, if there is no reward, where can I see such a happy appearance?" ”

Not long after, Cui Wanshu, who was hiding in the boudoir embroidering the dowry, arrived with Cui Wanjiao and Cui Wanlin, and Cui Wanhe and Cui Wanmei in the third room also entered the door with Cui Wanrong's front and back feet

Waiting for the ladies of Xifu and the young masters of each room to arrive, the main hall of this Songcui Courtyard is also full of people, looking at a very prosperous scene.

Because there was still a while before the dinner, the sisters and brothers who were closer to each other sat together, chatting and laughing, playing chess and playing backgammon.

The girls knotted the knots and braided the flower ropes, and they were also very interested.

Looking at the harmonious scene in the house, Mrs. Cui was so happy, and she talked to Mrs. Cui affectionately, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were very happy.

To tell the truth, at the age of Mrs. Cui, her competitive mind has long been stopped, and now she wants to watch her children and grandchildren full of people and a harmonious family.

It's really anyone's mountain of gold, she won't change it.

But Mrs. Cui is completely accompanying her mother-in-law to be happy, she is doing this, not only to please the elderly, but also to make the children in the second and third rooms closer and closer to the children in the long room.

His son is the eldest son of the Cui family, and in the future, the head of the Cui family, this daughter-in-law will be his current role in the future, and the couple now have a good relationship with these younger siblings, and it will be more convenient to run the family in the future.

looked at the son and daughter-in-law, and the young lady of the Cui family, and the sons laughed at the deed, and then looked at the concubine and the daughter-in-law, who followed closely with their brother and sister-in-law, with a respectful and stammering expression.

She felt a sense of pride in her heart, and she couldn't suppress it, so she surged up, "What if you are favored again?" Isn't she still an aunt? Your son and daughter-in-law, don't you have to respect me as a mother? Don't the two of them have to look at my son's daughter-in-law's face to live? ”

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui was very relieved, and the smile on her face deepened a little.

Cui Wanqing privately talked to her seventh sister Cui Wanjuan the most, Cui Wanjuan's temperament is really gentle, and she is not rigid, and she really cares for Cui Wanqing.

She can't forget how she just opened her eyes from a high fever, and the first thing she saw was Cui Wanjuan's worried eyes? R1152
